Shakespeare's Heroines : Characteristics of Women: Moral, Poetical, and Historical
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Long out-of-print, this beautiful reissue of Shakespeare's Heroines, complete with author Anna Jameson's provocative introduction and complemented with W. Paget's charming pen-and-ink wash illustrations, is as important today as it was groundbreaking when it was first published in 1832. The first in-depth exploration of Shakespeare's female characters (twenty-one of the bard's best-known plays), this is a must-have for Shakespeare collectors, students of feminist theory and gender roles, and scholars and anyone else with an interest in the Victorian era.
